The Island of Glass is a gripping geopolitical technothriller set in a near-future world where artificial intelligence accelerates faster than diplomacy, climate disasters pound vulnerable nations, and two superpowers edge toward conflict. At the center of this storm lies Isla Formos, a proud, democratic island whose advanced chip fabrication plants produce the world’s most powerful silicon - the essential key to unlocking AGI.
When a catastrophic typhoon exposes cracks in the island’s infrastructure and a leaked next-gen chip destabilizes global trade, Isla Formos becomes the unwilling fulcrum of a U.S.–China rivalry spiraling toward war. As tech titans battle for dominance and governments weaponize AI supply chains, brilliant engineer Dr. Lian Xiu races to safeguard Cyclops - the island’s groundbreaking processor - before it becomes the spark for global catastrophe.
Blending richly imagined political intrigue, the real vulnerabilities of climate-struck Taiwan, and the high-stakes race toward AGI, this story explores the fragile balance between innovation and annihilation. Through storms, sabotage, and diplomatic brinkmanship, The Island of Glass leaves readers breathless yet hopeful - envisioning a future in which humanity might harness its most powerful technology through cooperation, not conquest.
A tense, timely, and thought-provoking tale, The Island of Glass is perfect for fans of The Three-Body Problem, Snow Crash, and Kim Stanley Robinson.
